I've got a problem I need to bitch about [v6]

my cold is still hanging on and the cough is coming back

God, I love my dad, but I wish he didn't ask me if I'm alright EVERY SINGLE TIME I LEAVE MY ROOM.

sounds like my brother.

Aching in a few joints, partially my right wrist and right ankle. Notably I usually get partially down on one knee (without actually touching my knee to the shop floor) and torque lug nuts with my right hand.

Ankle feels better, wrist does not. Might have to pickup a brace tomorrow.

Wrist feels like it's getting worse....

*goes to Walgreens for a brace*

So Ayumi's safety is up next month and for a few months now I've known that the passenger headlight has been out of adjustment. I had made a superglue repair last year that held until winter. I thought that was the only thing I had to repair, but it turns out the peg on the bottom of the headlight that pivots the assembly is broken off. Worse still it broke into several pieces and those pieces are missing.

So I just had to buy a set of aftermarket lights from Advance. We'll see how well they fit and hopefully they won't stand out too much.

So I bought a new pair of work boots yesterday. They're supposed to steel toed and slip resistant. I found out today that they aren't very slip resist compared to the cheap Walmart shoes I've been using. I just threw out my third pair of those in little more than a year and despite their poor durability, they had excellent grip even while standing in oil. These boots that I got at Sears had a hard time gripping on just residual stuff. I haven't fallen yet but the risk is there.

Ugh why does my mouse have to grate on my lap table like nails on a chalkboard....

While the bright side of my day is new headlights and chrome, the not so bright part of my day was finding out I apparently ran over something and ruined one of Ayumi's tires. This was one of the BF Goodrich tires that I got with Ayumi. They're old tires from 2009 or something like that, but still had most of their thread. Last I measured them they were still around 8/32nds, new tires are usually 10/32nds or higher, and tires must be replaced at 2/32nds. They don't grip very well compared to the front tires that I replaced in December of 2015 but I was reluctant to replace them given my plans to get another truck at the end of this year.

So anyway I was setting my tire pressures to accommodate the recent cold mornings we'd been having. The Passenger Rear tire was lower than the rest of the tires, sitting at 31 psi. Knowing there must be a leak, I quickly noticed the large cut across the thread of the tire. Spraying it with water revealed a very tiny leak, but that meant I had to condemn the tire. Even though it doesn't have looked like much on the outside, the structural belts of the tire had to have been cut to allow air to escape through the cut, which was about two inches long.

In other words, it was a ticking bomb for a blow out.

I suppose on the bright side, I'm only paying half of what I did in 2015 to replace the other two tires. All in all, about $230.

FFX conquest battle: Yunalesca! Ultimate+ wasn't a huge, massive pain, but it was nice to be done with.

Or so I thought.

Raid battles require you to connect with three other players with two units apiece. So good connection is required! At literally the last sliver of health - the minimum HP required for there to be something remaining and not "empty but still HP left" - someone disconnected, which caused us to get no rewards (including 4* Spirit motes - very rare.)

*just found out the mortgage company is making moves to possibly take my family's home*

I must be pushing myself a lil too hard again, got home then slept until almost 2am o^o
